The UN Truth Commission for El Salvador publishes its report, From Madness to Hope. It concludes there is “full proof” that Atlácatl units deliberately and systematically killed the civilians at El Mozote, and it faults Salvadoran authorities, and the response of the United States, for failing to investigate and for covering up the crime.

The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) releases 'Double Injustice,' concluding it has solid grounds to find that at least 34 people detained in the case were tortured, and that the official investigation was marred by torture and cover-ups.

An estimated 300,000 people gather in Belgrade for one of the country's largest-ever demonstrations. At around 7 p.m. the crowd falls into a planned 15-minute silence to honor the Novi Sad dead.
